《I Threw Away The Rose》歌词

[00:00:00] I Threw Away The Rose - Merle Haggard (梅尔·哈格德)

[00:00:18] Once I lived a life of wine and roses and

[00:00:26] I drank a lot back then for one concern

[00:00:34] Success for me lay just around the corner

[00:00:42] I thought my social friends would help me make me turn

[00:00:50] But now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses

[00:01:00] A victim of the drunken life I chose

[00:01:08] Now all my social friends look down their noses

[00:01:16] Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose

[00:01:42] I stood by and watched the bottle take control of me

[00:01:51] The turn I made was not the one I'd planned

[00:01:59] And I watched my social standings slip away from me

[00:02:07] While I watched the bottle slowly take command

[00:02:15] Now I'm paying for the days of wine and roses

[00:02:25] A victim of the drunken life I chose

[00:02:33] Now all my social friends look down their noses

[00:02:41] Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose

[00:02:49] Cause I kept the wine and threw away the rose
